Between Concept and Metaphor: Reviewing Nietzsche′s Doctrine of Truth

Abstract

Abstract:For centuries, humankind accepts truth to be something static and global but Nietzsche has famously argued that truth is a metaphor and for that matter changeable and perennially evolving. As I hope to show here, this radical view has resulted out of Nietzsche's meta-commentary on language and logic. The main purpose of this article is to examine the key points of Nietzsche's arguments and the soundness of their conclusions, and thereby bring out their underlying critical intent.
